I would go about this in a different way. If you are making a pdf file from the page contents there are several choices to do this.
1. You could actually copy and paste into Open Office and export the file to PDF. 2. A lot depends on the content of the Html file its length for doing the following: To screen shot at full screen and the then use another screen capture programme to cut down the size of the saved file preferably as a jpg and then to copy it into Open Office. Either way a bit messy. PDFediit is quite good indeed and using Wine any of the others such as Nitro PDF and Snagit as a capture programme. An actual way of playing around with pictures is to use a Windows Programme like Paint Shop Pro in Wine.

I.e. printing the same HTML-page from epiphany results in a PS/PDF file which is text-searchable; doing this from gnome-web-photo seems to result in a PS/PDF which contains rasterised pixel data only. Shouldn't both programs use the same printing engine/lib? -- Sincerely, Stephen R. van den Berg.
